The adventure continues!
With Globetrot Trivia, we visit fifteen destinations all around the world. Sometimes we learn about those locations, but sometimes they inspire something more.
For this challenge, a destination is posted here on this thread. Sometimes that destination will be very specific and sometimes it will be very vague, but either way, we’ll need to have two quizzes queued up before we move on to the next location.
So if we use an example: ‘Central Park, NYC'. This means we need to queue two quizzes— anyone can submit them— before we continue on. The quizzes can be about the park...or parks around the world...or Manhattan...or Central Perk from 'Friends'. As long as you can justifiably link the quiz to the locations, it’s good!
Once we make our trip around the world, we’ll return to our starting location in some way. Last time, we started in Central Park and ended the route in New York City.
All you need to do is post when your quiz is submitted, and when there’s two we’ll move along. The quiz doesn't even need to be online yet! Think of it as a teaser for the players. ;)
Let's see the world again!

My quiz, "Who's Who: Famous Sy(i)dneys" is on-line! I have submitted "Tales of Uluru" for The Australian Outback leg. On to Hong Kong! Reply #42. Mar 27 18, 7:31 AM |

We haven't gone anywhere on GlobeTrotter since Nouns-- there's no way to fall behind. We're at the same spot. Reply #45. Mar 27 18, 4:45 PM |

I have been at a total loss for a Hong Kong quiz but I was using the excuse of "I will let everyone catch up first". Reply #46. Mar 27 18, 6:08 PM |

I have some ideas, but no time to write in the busy end-of-term time here. Easter break will give me four days! Reply #47. Mar 27 18, 6:09 PM |

I have ideas too, but I'm still getting my Outback quiz done (in Religion, of all places). Reply #48. Mar 27 18, 7:18 PM |

I've never had any intention of writing for every stop on the tour, but even if that were my intention, I have had no ideas for Hong Kong. Reply #49. Mar 27 18, 8:02 PM |

I've got an idea to do a quiz on Siouxsie and the Banshees - using their first single "Hong King Garden" as part of the title Reply #50. Mar 27 18, 9:14 PM |

Getting the time to write it... that will be the challenge Reply #51. Mar 27 18, 9:15 PM |

Some possibilities for Hong Kong: The movies of Bruce Lee (who's on the Avenue of Stars) Banking, Finance, and Economy Jackie Chan Kowloon Walled City Dragon Boat Racing Special Administrative Regions of the World The Pearl River Delta Hong Kong Phooey Skyscrapers The Opium Wars My quiz will be in VG for it.

"What's Playing: Sydney Opera House 2018" has been submitted to Music to satisfy the requirement for the first destination. On to Hong Kong now! Reply #53. Mar 28 18, 1:55 PM |

Didn't the Sy(i)dney quiz by ponycargirl count for Sydney? Kyle, it's missing on the list.. Reply #54. Mar 28 18, 2:30 PM |

I accidentally overlooked it. Reply #55. Mar 28 18, 2:34 PM |

I've got an idea on the go for Hong Kong... While not in my comfort zone, Kyle, it's a video games quiz! Reply #56. Mar 28 18, 3:24 PM |

Not a problem, Kyle. I know that the quiz on famous Sydneys was kind of a stretch. I do hope that my quiz on what is playing at the Sydney Opera House will also count, now that I am totally depressed after researching the story plots! :) Reply #57. Mar 28 18, 4:29 PM |
| kyleisalive
|
It'll count! I'm also queuing for Sydney. Decided not to wait. Focused on Opera Houses because I'm prepping for another trip abroad and wanted an excuse to look at places. ;) Reply #58. Mar 28 18, 4:35 PM |

My first Hong Kong idea was Hong Kong Phooey, but I don't remember it well enough for ten questions. So I have moved on to The Countess from Hong Kong, Charlie Chaplin's last (and possible least) movie. But I have to finish the Indian-Pacific train trip first. Four days of Easter break just started, but I probably won't actually start writing until tomorrow. Reply #59. Mar 29 18, 1:38 AM |

I think I'll be done my Outback quiz in the next couple of days; it's shaping up. Reply #60. Mar 29 18, 1:48 AM |
